WE have seen this process unfurl after every killing. Police probe. Victim’s relatives demand justice. Public uproar. Then the waning of interest. As for justice? The result of the quest for justice is the variable in this process. It will be in the case of lawyer and Ronda town vice mayor Jonnah John Ungab. And more often than not the result of the quest depends on how determined law enforcers are to ferret out the truth. There are two narratives in Ungab’s killing, the bigger one and the specific ones.

FORMER Cebu City mayor Mike Rama said (1) he didn’t say the Holy Spirit talked with him and (2) he might run for vice mayor or congressman, instead of the mayor’s post again. Which is more interesting of the two statements, made on dyCM radio yesterday? He could change his mind about his plans for 2019, as he just did about running for mayor. So for now, the more interesting is the Holy Spirit’s purported talk with him.

Advanced terms

Muck Rack's Advanced Search allows for many boolean operators.

AND

Find results that mention multiple specified terms, use AND or
+. For example, ensure each result contains both Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg by
searching Musk AND Zuckerberg or Musk + Zuckerberg.

OR

Use the operators OR or , to broaden your search when you'd like either of
multiple terms to appear in results. (This is the default behavior of our search when no operators
are used). For example, results will contain either cake or cookie by searching cake OR cookie or cake,cookie

NOT

Use NOT or - to subtract results from your search. For
example, searching Disney will yield results about the Walt Disney Company as well as Walt Disney
World Resort. To exclude mentions of Disney World, search for Disney -World or Disney
NOT World.

Phrases

When using one of these operators with a phrase, enclose it in quotation marks. For example, you can
find results about smartphones excluding Apple's iPhone 4S by searching smartphone -"iPhone
4s".

Exact case matching or punctuation

If you're searching for a brand name or keyword that relies on specific punctuation marks or capitalization, you can
find results that match your exact query by adding matchcase: before the keyword you're searching for, like matchcase:E*TRADE .

Combining operators

Use parentheses to separate multiple
boolean phrases. For example, to find journalists talking about having fun in Disney World or
Disneyland, search for ("disney world" OR disneyland) AND fun.

Asterisk

An asterisk can be used to search for any variation of a root word truncated by the asterisk. For example, searching for admin* will return results for administrator, administration, administer, administered, etc.

Near

A near operator is an AND operator where you can control the distance between the words. You can vary the distance the near operation uses by adding a forward slash and number (between 0-99) such as strawberries NEAR/10 "whipped cream", which means the strawberries must exist within 10 words of "whipped cream".
